How to uninstall apps force-opening the yourseismo.top website?
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is the yourseismo[.]top site?
Sharing many similarities with newssysstem.org, check-this-video.com, beta-news.org, boffero.com, and thousands of others, yourseismo[.]top is a rogue website. It operates by loading dubious material and/or redirecting visitors to various sites (likely unreliable or malicious).
These webpages are seldom accessed intentionally; most users enter them via redirects caused by rogue websites, intrusive ads, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). This software can infiltrate systems without user permission and subsequently cause redirects, deliver intrusive advert campaigns, and collect browsing data.
Yourseismo[.]top in detail
Once yourseismo[.]top is accessed, it first checks the visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address to learn their geolocation. This information determines the site's further course of action. In other words, whether visitors get redirected elsewhere and/or are presented with questionable content - depends on their geolocations.
Furthermore, most rogue pages use deceptive tactics (e.g., clickbait, fake CAPTCHA verification, etc.) to trick users into enabling their browser notifications. This applies to yourseismo[.]top as well; should its notifications be allowed - the webpage will start running intrusive advertisement campaigns.
The delivered adverts can be misleading, untrustworthy, and even malicious. They promote a variety of unreliable and dangerous websites. What is more, some intrusive advertisements can stealthily download/install software (e.g., PUAs) - when they are clicked on.
How do potentially unwanted applications operate?
PUAs can have different harmful functionalities, which can be in varied combinations. In addition to force-opening sites, they can deliver intrusive ad campaigns (adware) and/or modify browsers (browser hijackers). These applications typically also have data tracking abilities.
The apps can record browsing activity (URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). PUA developers monetize the collected data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).
To summarize, the presence of unwanted software on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general
PUAs appear legitimate and harmless. They also offer "handy" features, which are rarely operational. The only goal of unwanted apps is to generate revenue for the developers; they have no real value to users. PUAs operate by causing redirects, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, hijacking browsers, and collecting private data.
How did adware install on my computer?
PUAs can be downloaded/installed alongside other programs. This false marketing method of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is termed "bundling". These supplements can be left unmentioned entirely or hidden within the "Custom/Advanced" settings.
Therefore, by rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., ignoring terms, skipping steps and sections, using "Easy/Express" settings, etc.), users risk unintentionally allowing bundled content into their devices, thereby endangering the systems with potential infections.
Intrusive advertisements are also used to spread PUAs. Upon being clicked, the ads can execute scripts to download/install these applications without user consent. Some PUAs may have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded and/or purchased.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is recommended to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Only official and verified download channels must be used. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and hazardous content.
When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study possible options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings to opt-out from additional apps, tools, etc. Intrusive adverts appear legitimate; however, they redirect to questionable webpages (e.g., pornography, adult-dating, gambling, and so on).
Should users encounter ads and/or redirects of this type, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
